Thank-you for this review. I was wondering about this one. I just placed a David’s Tea order and almost ordered this one but was on the fence. I’m glad I decided not to order it!

I still want to try this one, but maybe not a lot.

My tastebuds might just be off today? I think it’s interesting enough to try a cup and see if you like it. If you have a local DAVIDs, go pick up a 10g sample.

I probably will. I think I’ll get a small sample and see. I almost got it the other day, but opted for Juicy Orange, which was a mistake.

Looks like this latest bunch of teas are a big fail. Which I had mostly guessed based on the ingredients. Sigh.

Yeah, I did not love the last bunch of teas either. I didn’t feel inspired to try them all, and of the ones I did, a couple were fine but nothing I needed to have more than a sample of.

Bio

I grew up drinking jasmine green tea with meals, but really fell in love with tea on a trip to Britain in elementary school. My first great love was Earl Grey, and I still adore it and all its variants.

I discovered the beauty of loose leaf tea much later, when, on impulse, I picked up a few teas that were on clearance at a home store. My introduction to loose leaf teas were Masala Chai and Provence Rooibos by the Metropolitan Tea Co and an unknown brand of kukicha and gyokuro (little did I know what a precious treasure I’d stumbled onto with that.)

At the time I was lucky to live in a place with multiple tea shops and several places to have afternoon tea, which is a delight I still miss.

Tea is part of my daily ritual and a nice, affordable way to appease the collector in me.

I enjoy distinctive whites, greens and oolongs, flavoured blacks, and herbals that are heavy on the citrus, lavender or mint.

Rating rubric, to give myself some consistency:
0-15 Yuck, not even drinkable.
16-30 Disappointing, not really inclined to give it a second try.
31-45 Disappointing, but maybe there’s potential? Worth one more try, prepped differently.
46-60 Mediocre, not terrible but not memorable.
61-75 Not bad. I’ll definitely finish what I have and might buy again.
76-90 Very enjoyable. Tasty, complex, it’ll keep me coming back.
91-100 BEST! I love everything about it and I will drink it forever.

Beyond tea, I’m a sex educator, polyamory activist, and radical queer. I love backwoods camping, abstract painting, baking & cooking, nail polish, cats, ceramic sculpture, and home nesting.
